We live in a society that often does not respect the importance of a promise. It is too easy to say "I'll get to it" or "tomorrow." In many ways we have become numb to disappointment and broken commitments. This expectation starts to fade into our character as individuals. Alex Sheen, the founder of the international "because I said I would" social movement, believes that every individual has the strength to become a person of their word. He will share his insights and actionable ways to become better at fulfilling commitments. Alex inspires others to become more accountable to their promises through compelling real-life examples from the movement and convincingly illustrates how integrity and keeping your promises are forever interwoven. He will discuss how holding ourselves and each other accountable truly changes humanity for the better.
